Mutations in leucine-rich repeat kinase 2 (LRRK2) are the most common genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD). Increased LRRK2 kinase activity is thought to impair lysosomal function and may contribute to the pathogenesis of PD. Thus, inhibition of LRRK2 is a potential disease-modifying therapeutic strategy for PD. DNL201 is an investigational, first-in-class, CNS-penetrant, selective, ATP-competitive, small-molecule LRRK2 kinase inhibitor. In preclinical models, DNL201 inhibited LRRK2 kinase activity as evidenced by reduced phosphorylation of both LRRK2 at serine-935 (pS935) and Rab10 at threonine-73 (pT73), a direct substrate of LRRK2. Inhibition of LRRK2 by DNL201 demonstrated improved lysosomal function in cellular models of disease, including primary mouse astrocytes and fibroblasts from patients with Gaucher disease. Chronic administration of DNL201 to cynomolgus macaques at pharmacologically relevant doses was not associated with adverse findings. In phase 1 and phase 1b clinical trials in 122 healthy volunteers and in 28 patients with PD, respectively, DNL201 at single and multiple doses inhibited LRRK2 and was well tolerated at doses demonstrating LRRK2 pathway engagement and alteration of downstream lysosomal biomarkers. Robust cerebrospinal fluid penetration of DNL201 was observed in both healthy volunteers and patients with PD. These data support the hypothesis that LRRK2 inhibition has the potential to correct lysosomal dysfunction in patients with PD at doses that are generally safe and well tolerated, warranting further clinical development of LRRK2 inhibitors as a therapeutic modality for PD.
Abstract 1523: Beta-2 adrenergic receptor and mu opioid receptor interact to increase the aggressiveness in triple negative breast cancer cells through activation of GSK3 signaling

Journal: Cancer Research (2022)

Abstract Breast cancer is the world’s leading cause of cancer mortality in women worldwide. It has been shown that body stress hormones, such as norepinephrine, and opioid peptides interact to control the growth and progression of this cancer. Opioid and beta-adrenergic receptors are recently shown to cross talk via formation of receptor heterodimers to control cellular functions in various cell systems. However, the underlying cell signaling mechanism remains unclear. To determine the effect of the interaction of the two systems in breast cancer, we employed triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) cell lines MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468, CRISPR, chemical inhibition or activation and, PCR Array technology to study aggressive tumor phenotype and signaling cascades. We found that knock down of the beta-adrenergic (B2AR) or mu-opioidergic receptor (MOR) system via the CRISPR technique or pharmacological agents induces a less aggressive phenotype in triple negative breast cancer cells both in vitro and in vivo, with the effect being potentiated when both receptor systems were inhibited together. The mRNA expression study using a PCR Array targeting Cancer Stem Cell genes shows that B2AR or MOR activated the glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) signaling cascade. The GSK3 inactivation in MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cells induced similar phenotypic changes as was done by the inhibition of B2AR and/or MOR, while a GSK3 activation by wortmannin reversed the effects of B2AR and/or MOR knockdown on these cells. GSK3 inactivation also prevents B2AR agonist norepinephrine or MOR agonist DAMGO from affecting MDA-MB-231 and MDA-MB-468 cell proliferation. These data identify a role of B2AR and MOR interaction in the control of breast cancer cell growth and establish a possible role of the GSK3 signaling system in mediation of these two receptors’ cross talk.

The majority of JAK2 V617F -negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) have disease-initiating frameshift mutations in calreticulin ( CALR ), resulting in a common carboxyl-terminal mutant fragment (CALR MUT ), representing an attractive source of neoantigens for cancer vaccines. However, studies have shown that CALR MUT -specific T cells are rare in patients with CALR MUT MPN for unknown reasons. We examined class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC-I) allele frequencies in patients with CALR MUT MPN from two independent cohorts. We observed that MHC-I alleles that present CALR MUT neoepitopes with high affinity are underrepresented in patients with CALR MUT MPN. We speculated that this was due to an increased chance of immune-mediated tumor rejection by individuals expressing one of these MHC-I alleles such that the disease never clinically manifested. As a consequence of this MHC-I allele restriction, we reasoned that patients with CALR MUT MPN would not efficiently respond to a CALR MUT fragment cancer vaccine but would when immunized with a modified CALR MUT heteroclitic peptide vaccine approach. We found that heteroclitic CALR MUT peptides specifically designed for the MHC-I alleles of patients with CALR MUT MPN efficiently elicited a CALR MUT cross-reactive CD8 + T cell response in human peripheral blood samples but not to the matched weakly immunogenic CALR MUT native peptides. We corroborated this effect in vivo in mice and observed that C57BL/6J mice can mount a CD8 + T cell response to the CALR MUT fragment upon immunization with a CALR MUT heteroclitic, but not native, peptide. Together, our data emphasize the therapeutic potential of heteroclitic peptide–based cancer vaccines in patients with CALR MUT MPN.

Quantitative studies on the renal handling of [3H]triamterene were performed in an isolated perfused rat kidney with near normal function and in an isolated kidney with negligible filtration rate, but preserved perfusate flow rate. The excretory pattern for [3H]triamterene is compatible with that of other weak bases such as quinine and quinacrine. Tubular secretion of [3H]triamterene is strongly inhibited by anoxia and iodoacetate. Tubular reabsorption of [3H]triamterene becomes pronounced when the urine is alkaline. Clearances were reported with and without correction for perfusate albumin binding which is about 75%. Bidirectional transport processes are operative in that [3H]triamterene is secreted by the renal tubule and passively diffuses back across the tubular epithelium by a pH-dependent mechanism.
Abstract 3801: Comprehensive characterization of the biology of inflammatory bowel disease-associated colorectal cancer using the GeoMx® Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP)
Authors: Anna Juncker-Jensen, Lakshmi Chandramohan
Journal: Cancer Research (2022)

Abstract Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) significantly increases the risk for development of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the exact molecular mechanisms that underlie the transition from inflammation to cancer are not fully understood, and a systematic characterization of the immunopathogenesis of IBD-associated CRC is lacking. To address this issue, we will perform a comprehensive and spatial tissue analysis using the Cancer Transcriptome Atlas (CTA) on the NanoString GeoMx® Digital Spatial Profiler (DSP). The CTA panel is designed to profile the global immune response and all aspects of tumor microenvironment biology, including the 18-gene Tumor Inflammation Signature (TIS). For DSP analysis, a total of 20 FFPE samples (5 colon cancer patients, 5 UC patients, 5 CD patients, and 5 matched normal samples will be spatially profiled for up to 1,800 genes included on the CTA. Selection of regions of interest (ROI) will be guided by H&amp;E staining and fluorescent markers (CD45, PanCK, Syto13), and profiling of tumor and TME regions will be achieved through segmenting by PanCK+/PanCK- followed by collection of indexed oligonucleotides and sequenced on NextSeq 550 Illumina instrument. NGS reads will be processed into digital counts, normalized and mapped back to each ROI, generating a map of transcript activity within each ROI. For all samples crypt and villus regions will be selected for a detailed spatial analysis. Subsequently, using the proprietary multiplex immunofluorescence (mIF) platform MultiOmyx™ we will characterize the protein immune cell landscape in IBD-associated CRC, using a custom immune panel applied to adjacent slides. With this study we hope to highlight genes and pathways involved in the transition from inflammation to cancer by combining large-scale spatial gene profiling by DSP CTA with a comprehensive spatial protein profiling by MultiOmyx. It is our hope that this will provide some much-needed understanding of the underlying mechanisms leading from an IBD disorder to the development of colon cancer.

Abstract 490: De novo individualized disease modules reveal the synthetic penetrance of genes and inform personalized treatment regimens
Authors: Taylor Weiskittel, Cristina Correia, Choong Ung, Cheng Zhang, Hu Li
Journal: Cancer Research (2022)

Abstract Current understandings of individual disease etiology and therapeutics are limited despite great need. To fill the gap, we propose a novel computational pipeline which collects potent disease gene cooperative pathways to envision individualized disease etiology and therapies. Our algorithm constructs individualized disease modules de novo which enable us to elucidate the importance of mutated genes in specific patients and to understand the synthetic penetrance of these genes across patients. We reveal that importance of notorious cancer drivers TP53 and PIK3CA fluctuate widely across breast cancers and peak in tumors with distinct numbers of mutations, and that rarely mutated genes such as XPO1 and PLEKHA1 have high disease module importance in specific individuals. Furthermore, individualized module disruption enables us to devise customized singular and combinatorial target therapies which were highly varied across patients demonstrating the need for precision therapeutics pipelines. As the first analysis of de novo individualized disease modules, we illustrate the power of individualized disease modules for precision medicine by providing deep novel insights on the activity of diseased genes in individuals.

Abstract Large chromosomal alterations are common in cancer and often show preferential gain or loss across many cancer types indicating their selective advantage. Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) exhibits complex mutational spectrum without common oncogenic drivers yet displays consistent loss of large chromosomal regions. Here, we characterize selection pressures that maintain a recurrently deleted region of chromosome 4p in TNBC. We used single cell and bulk WGS phylogenetic analysis of TNCB PT/PDX panel to show that chr4p deletion is an early event in tumor evolution. We used scRNAseq gene expression and inferred copy number analysis to show that chr4p loss is associated with a proliferative state. This finding was confirmed by a combination of RNA in situ hybridization and immunofluorescence. We then tested the dosage sensitivity of genes residing within this region by individual and dual overexpression in TNBC PDX-derived cell lines and control normal cell line by assessing their effect on cell proliferation. The overexpression of genes within chr4p elicited a strong cell proliferation defect in cancer but not normal cell line models. We also characterized an unknown gene within chr4p region as a novel member of the STRIPAK complex. Genome-wide pooled ORFeome library screens identified a global pattern of background-specific dosage sensitive regions. Our study shows that large chromosomal deletions are maintained due to evolutionary early genetic network rewiring rendering multiple genes within such regions to be dosage sensitive. Ultimately, this work enhances our understanding of genetic events that modulate TNBC.

Abstract 2407: Transmembrane chloride intracellular channel 1 (tmCLIC1) protein is a key regulator of colorectal cancers' metastasis

Journal: Cancer Research (2022)

Abstract Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common tumor worldwide and the fourth cause of cancer-related death. The presence of distal metastasis at the time of the first diagnosis represents a worst prognosis factor for patients’ long-term survival. Therefore, finding new targets to arrest the metastatic process is a main challenge for successful CRC therapy. Our laboratory focused its attention on the Chloride Intracellular Channel 1 (CLIC1), a metamorphic protein able to switch from a cytoplasmic to a transmembrane form associated to ion channel activity. Previous experiments demonstrate that tmCLIC1 functional activity is negligible in normal colon cells, while increases proportionally to CRC cells’ aggressiveness. Moreover, we also reveal that tmCLIC1 supports CRC cells abnormal proliferation rate. Here, we show that tmCLIC1 pharmacological inhibition or its stable downregulation led to a significative reduction of CRC cells migrative and invasive potential, in vitro. To further confirm our hypothesis, we analysed downregulation of metalloproteinase-7 (MMP-7) protein and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling, both involved in migration and metastatic processes. Moreover, we demonstrate in murine model that CLIC1 knock-down impairs tumor growth and limits cancer cells dissemination. We tried to investigate the alteration of metastatic pathways after CLIC1 silencing. We obtained that many different genes are downregulated when CLIC1 protein is absent; in particular, genes regulated by Reactive Species of Oxygen (ROS) levels. In this scenario, we tried to define the mechanism of action in which CLIC1 is involved. Altogether, all the results obtained in the present work could be considered a starting point to design a new therapeutic strategy to counteract against metastatic colorectal cancer.

Abstract 3822: Chromosomal instability shapes the tumor microenvironment through a chronic ER-stress response

Journal: Cancer Research (2022)

Abstract Chromosomal instability (CIN) is a cancer hallmark associated with cancer metastasis and immune evasion. Yet, it is unclear how CIN modulates the tumor-microenvironment (TME). Here we show that CIN results in a protumor TME with enrichment of immune-suppressive macrophages, a granulocytic infiltrate, and exhausted T cells. Using ContactTracing, a newly developed computational tool to infer conditionally dependent cell-cell interactions from single cell RNA sequence data, we identify tumor ligands induced by the ER stress response in cancer cells as central mediators of immune suppression. Mechanistically, CIN-dependent chronic activation of the cytosolic DNA sensing cGAS-STING pathway promotes ER-stress-dependent transcription. Suppression of CIN or depletion of cancer cell STING reduces ER-stress and restores CIN-induced changes on the TME. Correspondingly, chronic STING activation in human breast cancer patients is associated with reduced tumor infiltrating lymphocytes and increased metastasis. Remarkably, pharmacologic inhibition of chronically active STING or depletion of downstream ER stress signaling suppresses metastasis in syngeneic models of melanoma, breast, and colorectal cancers, thereby demonstrating a viable therapeutic strategy for chromosomally unstable cancers.
